Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive history of human ingenuity in the development of water-raising devices across the millennia. The author traces the evolution of these inventions from their rudimentary origins in ancient times to the sophisticated machinery of the present day. The book is unique in its focus on the mechanics of water-raising, rather than the history of water supply itself. The author draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient texts, archaeological evidence, and modern scientific research, to provide a detailed and accurate account of the development of pumps, wells, and other water-lifting devices. The book also explores the broader cultural and environmental contexts of water-raising technology. The author shows how the availability of water has shaped human settlement patterns and economic development throughout history. He also discusses the environmental impact of water-raising, and the ways in which new technologies have helped to mitigate these impacts. In addition to its historical and technical value, the book is also a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of human innovation. The author's engaging writing style and the wealth of illustrations make this book an enjoyable and informative read for both scholars and general readers alike. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780282475208_0
